Major clean up underway after bomb cyclone knocks out power, downs trees on B.C.’s South Coast
A major cleanup is underway from the bomb cyclone that swung by the South Coast Tuesday night. At its peak, the storm knocked out power to more than 200K homes and businesses. It also cancelled ferry sailings and forced the closure of numerous roads-- including through Stanley Park and major routes on Vancouver Island. Andrea Macpherson has the aftermath. Mark Madrygra has an update on the forecast.
